I've never read or watched anything by Jordan Peterson. He seems like a nice enough guy with some good instincts, but based upon what little I know of him, I'm not sure I'm missing anything. Am I?

IMHO Jordan Peterson is a central, polarizing figure in the Culture War, & its worth getting to know his message, & the reasons why it's resonating with many, & why it's so threatening to others.

Short answer, because it’s evidence- and logic-based, but it uses Holistic, consilient thinking rather than WEIRD abstract idealistic “Imagine”-like thinking.

Whoa, hold up there, buddy. I think I understand Peterson's virtues, but you don't think the Jungian, archetypical stuff is abstract and WEIRD? As for logic-based, any system, including ones you wouldn't agree with can be that--a nutty idea, carefully elaborated is 'logical.'

I like him when it comes to free speech issues and debates. When it comes to a host of other things, he tosses a mean word salad nearly as good as Deepak Chopra’s. And he gets owned for it all the same. OK, bring it, JPB-lobster fan boys.
@Cole_August knows what I mean.
